Hi Vicki,

Ok so here's what I can tell you. When massaging with lyme disease, pressure doesn't matter because it won't spread. If he is having any of the signs/ symptoms of during the massage of right before I would not recommened massage until let's say "the fever" has diminished. Everything should be fine. Good luck!
